ekaterra's response to allegations of abuses in its tea supply chain

...We know that a living wage is vitally important in addressing human rights and we are taking steps to understand the living wage gap and act on the findings in our supply chains...

Recently, we signed an agreement with IDH-Sustainable Trade Initiative to work on Living Wage in our supply chain.
